Tolls

Quick answer

The Agreement assigns tolls assessed during the rental to the renter, while the exact vehicle transponder, plate, billing, and administrative-charge method must be confirmed.

60-second explanation

Why it matters

Electronic tolls may post after travel, and the road charge can be separate from a rental-company processing or administrative charge.

In plain English

The renter is responsible for tolls during the rental under the Agreement. If STARS pays an amount for which it may be responsible, the Agreement permits charging that payment plus administrative fees to the rental card.

The Agreement does not state a universal toll package, transponder method, or program price.

Industry context

Useful context—not a universal rule

Electronic collection methods vary by road and provider. Confirm how the specific vehicle is enrolled before using a personal transponder or toll road.

What to confirm before you arrive

Practical checklist

  • Ask whether the vehicle uses a transponder or plate process.
  • Confirm how actual tolls and administrative charges are billed.
  • Do not assume a personal transponder will prevent provider billing.

Example

A toll can be recorded by the vehicle plate and processed after return even though the drive occurred during the rental.

Common mistake

Assuming tolls are automatically included in the rental price or that every company uses the same program.
